I'm Painting My Front Door Red,

“I’m
painting my front door red”

The Queen from wonderland said,

“You will be losing your head."

The CC&R’s are quite clear

The penalty’s very severe

Yet I can’t stop myself from this
task

And if anyone should question or ask

have my response rightly planned

Should constabulary come to demand,

“A fine you must pay today

And repaint without delay!”

So I’ll say:

I thought it was on the list, AND…I’m
color blind, have presbyopia, presbycusis, red eyes from pink eye, But, don’t you think it’s a lovely color? The
hardware store must have mixed it wrong, …it’s not my fault! And I’m not
changing it!

About Me

I'm a wife of 45 years, mother of 5, grandmother of 16. I've been a writer all my life and began directing plays in the second grade. I've written, and directed numerous community productions many under the name "The Santa Clarita Valley Light Opera Company". While my children were young I set aside many of my interests and now that most have left the nest I can get back to writing. I've finally completed my first novel, and I must say it's almost like giving birth, except it took more than 9 months. I'm now working to have my novel published which I've found is much like casting a play...too tall, too short, not enough experience...HEY how about Life? When my children were still at home I was elected four times to the Governing Board of The Hart High School District of 25,000 students. In 16 years I helped build 5 schools, hired 3 Superintendents and maintained fiscal solvency by working with teachers, parents and created a foundation to acquire building sites. I've taught nursing for 20 years and have been an RN for over 40. I Currently teach Pharmacolocy, and Maternal-Child Health at UCLA Olive View for COC, all the time typing away hoping to be noticed by a publisher.
